Yes they will fit. I think they are slightly stronger due to the long cutout that is there to clear the piece in the LS2 block and the wider flange at the top.

I don't really think there is a Gen IV lifter tray, I think its just an updated design. Like said above, they do fit.

i think the only difference is the ls2 buckets have grooves that line up in the ls2 blocks.
